The name was given from outside and is not a self-designation; the term used within is Urang Kanekes. “Baduy” is accepted in dealings with outsiders but not regarded as their own name.

Explanations circulating in writing
Circulating usage — tertiary source
Several writings connect the name with the Arabic badawi or with the name of the Baduy river. None of these explanations can be traced to a contemporaneous source.

This encyclopedia uses “Baduy” as the entry title because it is the most searched form, and records Urang Kanekes as the self-designation on the first line of the name authority.
Every position carries its own source, and the tier of that source is visible. A position resting only on a tertiary source is still recorded — as circulating usage, not as an equivalent account.
